Is this really an issue?

[Robert Brimhall]

I think the shock may be more related to the lack of clothing (no
shirts for GDM and nude for the rest) rather than racism. One could
also argue that only using youthful, good-looking people ignored the
elderly and was geriatricism. May main issue is not the images but the
lack of input from the main devs on the issue. Users appear to be
bailing or will bail due to the images... shouldn't there be some sort
of compromise reached? A vote cast? My two cents not that anyone
asked...
